Small Groups Ministry at ILC

ChristCare
ChristCare groups are circles of care with Christ at the center. This concept of care comes from Christ’s commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind" and to "love your neighbor as yourself." Mt.22:37,39.

ChristCare groups meet in homes (or at church) 2 to 4 times a month to study God’s Word together and serve others through a group-designated mission focus. Each group spends time building relationships, exploring how to apply God's Word to their daily lives, praying, and serving others.

You are invited to join one or more of 4 ongoing Christcare groups:
